12IA – Duty to ensure appropriate staffing

The NHS Golden Jubilee position with this duty is substantial (100%). This overarching duty ensures that effective processes are in place to ensure the right workforce is on hand to support the delivery of safe, effective, high-quality, patient care.

Workforce planning in NHS Golden Jubilee takes place at professional, multidisciplinary and operational level. There is a Workforce Planning Strategy in place for the Board.

Where a gap is identified, clinical managers can highlight this at the site wide safety huddle. Associated mitigation and solutions are identified.

Our status with this duty has not changed since Q2.
